That's pretty bad.
They used to always have the final for free, now you have to pay to watch on TNT Sports or HBO Max.
Big deal.

HBO Max is free with some Sky subscriptions. All three European finals are a available on that platform.
We are not in it so I wont watch anyway
who cares.
This is becoming a creeping trend. The Commonwealth Games will not be shown on the BBC for the first time ever because they were outbid by TNT with highlights shown on Channel 5.
Completely wrong.

Who watches the Commonwealth games? Hopefully if TNT continues blowing the budget on that kind of stuff maybe their stranglehold on proper competitive sports will be loosened. Loss of the free-to-air Champions League final is disappointing.
No real surprise. Greed is overtaking the national game at breakneck speed.

Personally I love watching the Commonwealth Games. Far less interested in champions League finals.
